In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 141

She began to wallow in self-pity upon picturing herself living with him.Truth be told, she had amazing cooking skills. Everything she cookedwould burst with flavors.

Back then, Jeremy used to say that she was most suited to be ahousewife and that her cooking was even better than his mother's.

At the Jones residence, Skylar hadn't even touched the cutlery. Starvingsince morning, her stomach was growling loudly, and she barely hadthe strength to speak. She was also feeling sluggish from the lack ofcarbs.

“Are you hungry? I'm cooking some noodles, so I'll cook a bow! for youtoo,” she said to Tobias.

Tobias lowered his gaze and smirked. “I don't eat junk food like instantnoodles.”

Skylar replied coldly, “What a picky eater. When I was young, I didn'teven get the chance to eat instant noodles. Grandma was frugal andwould often cook plain noodles. On Children’s Day, she'd buy me somebraised beef instant noodles. At that time, I'd thought this was the bestfood in the world. Even my dream then was to eat instant noodles everyday when I grow up.”

Tobias folded his arms and raised his brows at her. “Are you telling methis to get my sympathy?”

Skylar was rendered speechless. That never even crossed my mind. Ijust said it on a whim. He is such a conversation killer.

Arching her lips into a smile, she played along with Tobias. “You're right,Mr. Ford. After listening to such a tragic story, don't you think I'm reallypitiful? That I have a sad life? I've suffered too much, but at least you'rehere now to alleviate some of my pain.”

Tobias gently pinched Skylar's cheeks that were flushed withembarrassment. “Not at all. No one knows what's in store for themupon coming into this world. Everyone out there has their own troubles,so why should they try and relate to yours? The key is in your hands.I'm only giving you the support. Everything else is up to you.”Enlightened by Tobias’ words, Skylar raised her eyes to study this wiseman.

She couldn't deny that putting aside his wild taste in bed, he couldindeed be considered a life mentor.

She pursed her lips and murmured, “I won't talk about these thingsanymore. You're right. There are people who have it much worsecompared to me.”

“Smart girl. You can still talk to me about it but forget about tellingother people. Keep your past hidden from prying eyes. Not manypeople can empathize, so it's better to maintain an air of secrecy.”Skylar nodded in understanding. No one besides Tobias had ever givenher such sincere and earnest advice.

She took out some chilies and onions from the refrigerator, then foundsome chicken in the freezer.

“Do you eat Chicken Maryland?” she asked.

Tobias shook his head. “Too oily.”

“What about grilled chicken?” Skylar asked.

“How is that different from Chicken Maryland?”

Exasperated, Skylar let out a sigh. The man was really hard to please, soshe eventually decided to cook instant noodles. He can take it or leaveit.

She cooked a big pot of noodles and transferred them into a glasscasserole, filling every corner of the villa with its aroma.

This time, she prepared two sets of cutlery but didnt call Tobias over toeat.

As Tobias watched Skylar slurping on the noodles while looking at herphone, he noticed the sheen of sweat on her forehead

He picked up his cutlery, then pulled out the chair beside her andgracefully lowered himself into it.

Skylar pushed the casserole toward him. “It's good. You should trysome. I put bacon, crab sticks, and fish balls in it.”

Tobias forked up some of the noodles and ate them slowly.

Skylar gradually fell into a trance as she watched him, amazed at howhe could look so elegant even when eating instant noodles.

On the other hand, she ate food as though it was her first meal in ahundred years.

“Is it good?” Skylar looked at him expectantly.
